how to say “muse” in Hebrew
having trouble seeing the print?
For writers, sometimes words flow onto the page, while other times there’s a block. At those times, writers often sit and wait for the mythological god, the muse, to whisper in their ear words of inspiration and artistic content.
Hebrew writers wait for a מוּזָה (MOO-zah). This borrowed word was borrowed by English as well from Ancient Greek, which in turn likely borrowed from the Proto-Indo-European.
Or, writers might simply wait for inspiration. The Hebrew word for this is הַשְׁרָאָה (hahsh-rah-AH), the abstract noun form of the active-causative הִפְעִיל verb meaning to induce and to soak – לְהַשְׁרוֹת (leh-hahsh-ROHT).
By contrast, the verb to muse meaning to think, is לַהֲגוֹת (lah-hah-GOHT) or לְהַרְהֵר (leh-hahr-HEHR).
